Easter Sunday is the day that gives people the opportunity to encounter the presence of the Holy Spirit that can change their lives forever. Easter Sunday is real and undeniably the best day for a fresh start for anyone.

Lives around the world are filled with valleys and mountains and Easter is one of those Sundays people attend church. We must continuously be reminded that our Savior Jesus Christ is RISEN from the grave.

Remember in Luke 24, the two disciples traveled from Jerusalem to Emmaus and had an encounter with Jesus? They were in a state of shock that they crucified Jesus and the women returned from the tomb that Jesus’ body wasn’t there.

“They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

The resurrection is clearly real! People will come to your church disappointed, depressed, broken hearted, and lost looking for more to their lives. On Easter, their miracle can happen! No matter where they are in their lives, Jesus is always present.

That’s the value of Easter. Easter causes people to reconsider their situations and circumstances, that they can find victory in Jesus Christ our RISEN Savior.
